It's just cricket....

I read with some interest today of the England cricket team's 3-0 destruction of Australia in the Ashes. I can assure you that this was not an archive article or Kevin Pietersen's discarded plan of action before his messy exit last week.

Instead, it was the story of the England blind cricket team beating their Australian counterparts in the Blind Ashes in Australia late last month.

Blind cricket has been played in England and Wales since the 1940s and requires all players to be registered as blind or partially sighted, with at least four players totally blind - but don't let that fool you about the determination of these players.
